Connect and Collaborate to Create a Positive IMPACT with Skype in the Classroom!

A Magic Wand which gives power to the educators to take their students on a journey never heard of before!

Skype in the Classroom is a classic example of shared Economy! We are sharing our resources with each other without spending any money! We are sharing our knowledge with students across the Globe, with existing infrastructure. Connecting students with each other so that they learn to collaborate and think critically beyond their classrooms and physical boundaries, helping them develop creativity.

A Quote from an MIeexpert

I feel I am Skype Master Teacher as am extremely passionate about it and have been advocating use of Skype in the classroom in social Media and in my training sessions. Screen shots of my tweets and my pictures are right here!

Training educators about using Skype in the Classrooms during multiple training sessions

My main objective for connecting with students in various countries is to create far and wide awareness about our depleting natural resources. I strongly believe that our Students are the hope for future and they are the ones who will be able to find sustainable solutions in future. As Educators we need to facilitate their learning and guide them in the right direction .

I have had multiple sessions with students in Nepal, Austria, India, Australia and UK using Skype in the classroom.

Talking to students about Yammer and its use in their classrooms as how they can work in groups with other students and teachers in a safe environment.

As a Guest Speaker, I had a talk with Grade 5 students, Ashby Primary School, Geelong, Victoria in Australia about how in Asia we are facing lack of natural resources because of over population and modernization and the challenges being faced in everyday lives of people here. The students gained a very different perspective as how people in other parts of the world are facing challenges which are unheard of in their country!

Mystery Skype Session with Westwood Primary School with IFord in UK

Post Mystery Skype we had a discussion about saving our natural resources.

Being a Skype Master Teacher will provide me with more depth and breadth on this topic that will help me to increase my span of wings (by learning and collaborating with other Skype Master Teachers and then reaching out to a more students!)
